Chuck,
  Trust me, this wasn't a flame.  Call it good natured ribbing.  I
certainly hope that all of the Badger fans around here didn't take it as
a flame.  I enjoy the rivalry between Minnesota and Wisconsin and have a
great deal of respect for the Badgers.  Heck, my neighbors son plays for
the Badgers.  We shoot barbs back and forth in such a manner whenever he
is up in town and have a darned good time.  I even spent the night
enjoying the company of 5 or 6 Badger fans after the Target Center game
a few weeks back.  (Sounds a little like Sid Hartman, doesn't it?
<<Shudder>>)
  No, this wasn't a flame.  It was intended as a joke attempting to
lighten the mood of it all.  If I offended you, or any other Badger
fans, it was thouroughly unintentional.
 
Go Badgers!  (oh, and them little squirrel things too...)
